The Cleveland Browns could be without one of their top players vs. the Houston Texans in the Wild Card round this weekend.
The Houston Texans are set to take on the Cleveland Browns in the Wild Card round of the NFL playoffs on Saturday, in what will be a rematch from Christmas Eve at NRG Stadium.
In that game, the Browns won easily in a 34-22 decision, thanks in large part to a suffocating defense, led in part by star corner Denzel Ward.
Now, just two days ahead of the playoff showdown, Ward’s status for the game is in doubt, with the star corner suffering a knee injury in Thursday’s practice.
Following the injury, the Browns have officially listed Ward as questionable for the game. Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski also revealed that Ward was a limited participant in practice, but gave no other update on his condition.
Ward, who was just named to his third Pro Bowl in six seasons with Cleveland, has been a major part of the Browns’ No. 1 ranked defense, Finishing the regular season with 34 tackles, two interceptions, 11 passes defended and a forced fumble in 13 games with 11 starts.
